Hello Saturday Runners!
Congrats to all of our Marine Corps Marathon finishers, and good luck to everyone racing in NYC or elsewhere this weekend! For those of you who aren't either tapering or recovering, this week's long run on Saturday, November 5 will be National Capitol (additional map here) for 12 miles. To shorten the route, you can return directly over the Key Bridge after coming back to the Lincoln Memorial, which will be about 9.5 miles, or you can do any shorter out & back along the Mall. For a longer run, a full lap of Hains Point will add 4 miles to make it 16, or a lap of the Tidal Basin will add 1.75 miles to make it just under 14.
We now need a volunteer to start handling post-run drinks, since the schedule going forward is currently empty. Please thank Coach Big Guy for stepping up again this week to fill in the gap, but post-run drinks will not resume until volunteers start signing up. I've also now posted a complete schedule of our runs taking us into spring marathon season, going through both Rock n Roll DC and Boston.
Up-to-date volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this SLR perk, please do your part to keep it going! Volunteering is easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and all restocking expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
